Twice a week or so I will come here during happy hour, have a couple of beers and the Baja fish tacos, and then head over to Ala Moana Park for a beachside stroll to walk off the calories. The fish tacos are nothing like what you can get in LA, and I'm not really a fan of the batter, but with no Rubio's Fish Tacos around, probably the next best thing. Fish tastes pretty fresh too. read more

I was hoping for a similar burger to Puka's in Kahala and it was close. The service though, so lacking. There's a sign that says it's a 'full service' restaurant. We sit at a table, read the drink menu, look around, read some more. Two bartenders and no one on the floor. I get up and locate a food menu. We read that and still look around for a server. I finally go to the bar and wait for the tender to have a moment. Order a beer and a burger. He delivered the beer quickly and the food was brought out by a nice woman who must have been no break. Burger was a little under done for "medium". Bun was too small for the size of the patty. But it was tasty and the fries were seasoned and crispy. But BUT bUt the stupid ketchup! Gross, all the ew. I forgot they serve whatever is considered a natural ketchup. Blech. Floor staff needs support, please. read more

Overall: Such a cute, trendy bar on the second floor of Kakaako - Whole Foods. There is live music on Fridays and Saturdays (and sometimes Wednesday). Plus, you can bring food up from the grocery store/hot bar downstairs to the bar. Ambiance: there are indoor and outdoor tables (+hanging chairs). The interior is really chic, modern and clean. Price: even though there was a great beer selection, it is definitely not a place where we will go for casual drinks after work - the beers were a tad pricey (~$12/beer). WiFi: free WholefoodWiFi that you can easily connect to. Maybe new study place? Favorite part: I could go back up and down if I ever wanted more food. A bar with a grocery store underneath? Such a great idea. Parking: super spacious and high-tech parking structure. Always have found parking in here. read more

Great bar and convenient location inside the new Whole Foods... sounds strange but it's my favorite thing. Grab a bite to eat and a drink before grocery shopping. I had the Baja Fish Tacos and a "Day Trippin" cocktail, and my girlfriend had the Fish n Chips and a margarita. The Day Trippin cocktail was good but a little too coconutty. Margarita was nice and strong. Both fish dishes were cooked well and portions were good. The bar also has 36 different taps downstairs (Low Tide) and 24 of some of the same upstairs (High Tide), with a sizeable selection of local beers. read more

Two Tides Bar - Baja Fish Tacos - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

how convenient to get a drink before grocery shopping or is it safer to shop first before drink first? lol.. i love that you can eat your food here that you bought on their hot/cold section and just get your drinks here. they don't offer my usual malibu/rum or lava flow.. i tried their own cocktails but nah.. i just gave it to my friend.. my date liked her beer though.. nothing really fancy.. read more

Hey man, this is a pretty sweet spot to grab a bite to eat. And it just so happens it's inside Whole Foods, so you can chill after your usual weekend grocery haul. We sat around the bar, so we had the pleasure of people watching, watching whatever game was on the big TV, and ordering and drinking. We ordered a burger (forgot the name...), which was pretty good except that it came out well done instead of medium. Love the fact that there are some (relatively) healthy options on the menu! The cauliflower nachos are delicious. Not sure why they're called "nachos," as they're kinda more like tater tots, but regardless I suggest you give it a try! read more

First time here was alright. I had the crunchy shrimp tempura roll. The roll was ok, but not worth the $14 price tag. My girlfriend had the cauliflower nachos $10. The nachos was very interesting, it looks like it is baked cauliflower with salsa and jalapenos on top. The nachos taste a little bland. read more

Nice little place attached to the Whole Foods. I had the vegetarian burger, edamame, and the cauliflower nachos. The nachos were the stand out! I know the menu says tempura, but I would swear they were roasted. Roped with jalapeños, tomato, and an avocado/crema. Yum. My vegetarian burger was fine. The edamame could have used more seasoning. Beer selection had a wide variety. Wine was good, too. Service was great. I don't know how many times the server refilled our water glasses, but it was a lot. They were on it!! read more

Cool setting in a grocery store. On the 1st floor, beer and wine. On the 2nd floor, spirits, wine, and mixed drinks. The prices are kinda expensive but I guess it's the ambiance that sets the price. One stop: shopping then a stop at the bar; pretty cool concept. I guess the setting prevents you from over indulging which is good. The prices also does that too. You don't have to eat the food there to enjoy a beer. I usually buy something from Whole Foods then have a drink. Worth a try but probably not a place to indulge. read more

Had no idea this place was tucked in the back of Whole Foods. They have an extensive craft beer menu and full bar. Food and drink specials also available. Last night they had a $13 burger/beer special, what a deal. Not all burgers and beers inclusive though which was the only downfall. I ordered the pub burger and the waikiki English Brown Ale. Burger done perfectly medium and pickled onions and garlic aioli was a nice touch to bring all the flavors together. The Brown Ale was good with hints of caramel malty notes. Also tried the mushroom harvest bowl, Baja fish tacos, and cauliflower nachos. The harvest bowl was tasty and fresh. Veggie noodles kept the dish light while the katsu porcini mushroom afforded a little heartiness. Baja fish tacos were fresh and delicious. Portions were big and flavors mended well together. The star of the show though would have to be the cauliflower nachos! I've never had anything like that and never thought I'd enjoy cauliflower this much lol. Chunks of battered and fried cauliflower topped with fresh pico de Gallo, jalapeño, and avocado crema was absolutely a flavor Larry for the pallet. I'll definitely be back for the nachos and to try a few more of their craft beers. read more

They have finally reopened send I'm so happy. Although there's been changes to their setup and that you can only order from their menu, it's still a great place to hang out and chill any time of the day. Great staff that are friendly and helpful! Still one if my go to places in town, read more

Ordered food as in vegetarian special. Then tea. They don't have a sugar salt only in small packages. I did not want high fat so has egg whites and fake bacon. Bacon burnt! Toast has oil on it. Don't go there for food read more

Located inside Whole Foods, they have two bars, one located on each floor. Super cruz spot for drinks and to hang out. Plenty of seats and you can bring food in from Whole Foods grocery section and eat there. The staff are friendly and helpful. read more

Two Tides Bar - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I went to two tides bar right after it opened inside the whole foods market. The place is very modern, and I love the great selection of beers they have on tap. I love me some grapefruit sculpin ale, and on tap is the way to enjoy it. The service here was amazing, they were swamped with people there on opening weekend, but our server was amazingly hospitable. You can get food from the whole foods food court and eat it at the bar, or order food from the kitchen. The beers are a little pricey, so try to go for happy hour, it's a bit of a better deal. read more

Two Tides Bar - Tacos! - Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We always go to Whole Foods and about every other visit we stop in at The Two Tides Bar for dinner before shopping. Service has been ok but not stellar. Tonight it was downright awful. To order two drinks the server had to type in a thesis on the terminal I practically had to beg to order food. Another couple came in and sat next to us. They ordered drinks, then food and were done and my two measly chicken tacos still hadn't come out . My partner was also done with his meal and our drinks were done and my tacos still hadn't arrived. It was really weird sitting there waiting while every one else was done eating. I' be waited tables before so I have an idea of what decent service is like. It almost seemed like I was intentionally ignored. The other guys were nice but she was not. Never again sitting at the bar if she is there. I am always pleasant to servers since I was one myself but tonight was pretty bad. Too bad since it could be and has been a fun place in the past. read more

Perhaps you should shut this down. Bartender too busy talking to his friend to pour me a draft beer. Made the mistake of ordering 2 orders of french fries and too 40 minutes to deliver to my table. Saw a lady drop her drink right after it slipped out of her hand at the well order station, not once did any worker come and help her nor even call anyone to come help her. I helped her pick up the pieces and just shook my head at the 2 bartender's just watching. Geez if you hate your job or hate people just quit and go do something else. Never coming back to this inept mishandled "bar" again. read more

The staff there are extremely kind and helpful! The rating is a combined of staff (5 star) and then the food (3 star). I ordered the buffalo wings and burger to go. Wings were really good, price was right and the amount was perfect, just eat asap. Burger was disappointing, the burger patties seemed like they were boiled vs grilled, very soggy and no crust or chew. Hope it was an off day but not sure if I want to try again. read more

Good local craft beer selection. Fairly typical sports bar scene, but in Whole Foods. Who knew??

Two Tides is a really nice "after work have a few drinks" type place. The food is good and in my opinion reasonably priced. During happy hour many cocktails and food items are $2 off. Two Tides is located inside of Whole foods on the main floor. So it is on the louder side which I personally don't mind. There are several TV's with sports on so it has that sports bar vibe. You can order food there or I have seen many people grab pizza and other items from the whole foods fast food area and bring it in to eat. They have the long high tables where you may be sitting with others and it appears these tables are designated for drinks and people who bring food for outside. Then there are private tables set with silverware and cloth napkins for sit down diners who be ordering from the Two Tides menu. The menu is generous in options so most will find something they like. This visit we had: Fish and chips $10 Fish Tacos $10 Cauliflower Nachos $8 Sushi roll Brussel Sprouts The fish for the fish and chips were a generous portion. Same exact fish for fish in chips were in the tacos. Kind of a big piece of fish for inside a tacos but still good. The avocado type purée was good in the fish tacos you are served 3 generous portions of tacos with the usual cabbage type garnish inside, no side but again still filling. The cauliflower nachos we ordered as an appetizer but it is a meal it itself so I will likely get them as a meal next time. They are very good and this is a very unique type dish. I thought it was going to be mashed cauliflower made into fried nacho chips then made like nachos. I was way off - these are chunks of cauliflower breaded in a tempura style batter then deep fried and topped with pico de gallo and the same avocado type purée that is in the tacos. They are crunchy, tasty and full of goodness! Love this unique menu item! Fish and chips were pretty much same as the fish tacos without the tortillas and add fries. 3 large pieces deep fried fish with a spicy sauce in the side and well seasoned and cooked french fries. Sushi roll was a simple ahi rice avocado type roll and it was fresh! Brussel sprouts was a side dish to share of nicely seasoned and cooked and perhaps quick sauté fry for a nice little crunch on the outside. For drinks I ordered a Mojita which last time was great, this time was completely different and not good at all. Service is pretty good but this visit we did sort of wait a while for things. They have food runners so this makes the service for food pretty fast. For this visit the delay or Slowness came from Getting our check which took a while to get, then another wait for someone to come and get the payment to process. read more

This bar / restaurant is an absolute disaster. The acoustics are horrid. The food is mediocre. We encountered an obnoxious party that screamed and yelled and were obviously drunk. The management did nothing to rein them in. We came there because of their Friday oyster special. It took almost an hour to get the oysters and they were so small and tasteless they were barely worth eating. My wife had completely finished her meal before the oysters arrived. The presentation was equally bad. Save yourself the aggravation and avoid this place. read more

popped over here for pau Hana and was impressed. Kiana & Jared worked hard to tackle orders and always did so with a smile. I know holidays especially; let alone a packed bar, can be stressful for people, but they handled it with ease and a good attitude. thanks for the service! will definitely be back. read more

Lots of healthy options and satisfying options so there is something for everyone. They also have a bar. The restaurant is split into two levels, 1st floor is more sit down service, 2nd floor is open seating. I have yet to have bad service, and the staff have always been friendly. read more

It's good! We had two burgers which came to $14 each... Not bad for the neighborhood. A lot of very expensive competition in the area so it's nice to have something on the more reasonable side. We sat at the bar and watched a NFL game while having two burgers and fries. I'll give it five stars. read more

I came to this place because Whole Foods advertised that there was happy hour. I had ordered the following: 1.) Beer - I was then told it was not happy hour, as it doesn't not apply on weekends (it was a Sunday) 2.) Summer Water Rosé - I was then told that they were out of this particular product and suggested to try the AIX Provence Rosé. I decided to order the AIX instead when they provided me a sample. However, I was served the drink in the wrong glass; thus getting stiffed with my money. The bartender tried to correct the mistake once he found out he served me the wrong glass, but I didn't want to bother. 3.) Pub-Style Fish & Chips - After receiving the order, the bartender informed me that they are out of French fries and instead substituted the side with actual potato chips. If I had known this to begin with, I would have ordered a different entree. 4.) Peanut Kaffir Lime Shrimp Roll - The food wasn't delicious and will definitely not order again, but what bothered me was that none of the workers provided me with the utensils to eat with. I sat with my food for a few minutes before I had to flag down the employees (there were three standing right in front of me next to the drafts just talking amongst themselves). **I also witnessed one of the bartenders snacking on chips and drinking from the sample glasses, which I find highly unprofessional and inappropriate. I had high expectations since this place is conveniently located inside Whole Foods, but I am greatly disappointed. Definitely will not dine here again & hope others will avoid wasting their time and money here. read more

Stood at the bar on the second level for over 5 minutes tonight while the bartender, Dillon, did everything except even acknowledge we were there. He spent time small talking two women sitting at the bar, came and put down a cocktail shaker literally 1 foot in front of us and did not even look at us or talk to us, went and poured a glass of wine and then started talking to another guy about unrelated stuff. At this point, my husband who is a former restaurant manager and bartender, said he had enough and this guy was the worst bartender in the world. It should've been a sign that TWO other couples ahead of us in line also left after we got there. read more

Not worth it. We waited a extremely long time to even be acknowledged and handed a menu. When we first arrived we didn't even think there were door servers as there was no one on the floor for early 10 minutes. Finally a nice and smiley guy (who we only ended up seeing 3 or 4 times in the hour we were there out on the floor) handed us a menu. We ordered waters and an appetizer. The waters never came. About 10 minutes later (apparently everyone got off of break at the same time) 2 other servers approached and asked if we had been helped, so we took the opportunity to again order waters, a veggie sushi roll, Brussels sprouts (that looked NOTHING like the Whole Foods ad photo) and some chicken. The second sever brought our waters right away! The sushi roll came out about 7 minutes later... (still no cauliflower nachos) the roll was really good so if you do end up here I recommend the firecracker roll.. our waters emptied and were never filled.. finally the cauliflower nachos came out. They were pretty good. The food runner was probably the most useful employee. Brussel sprouts followed.. after we were done with all of our food.. the chicken came out about 35 minutes after we ordered it. No servers in sight for most of our time there. We witnessed others come in and sit around to only not get served, complain and leave. Finally we approached the bar to ask for our check since we couldn't find a server.. the bartender looked at me and didn't even smile or acknowledge my waiting. The next bartender walked up and was more friendly and slows facilitate us getting our check and getting out of there. Unfortunately I would not recommend it.. it's not worth it. I will say I was in food service from the age of 13-28 from a busser to a server to a certified bartender. My parents also owned restaurants most of my life and I can appreciate that sometimes things may take a little while especially at a new popular Whole Foods.. however it's not hard to acknowledge folks, smile and communicate with them. The staff could greatly benefit from a hospitality training session. read more

They are open for drink-in service. Same personnel. Same Happy Hour prices. BUT, no customers. I sat there with my buddy and we drank for two hours. We were the only patrons during that period. read more

The food is good, people are nice my only issue is the fact that me and my boyfriend go there a lot to eat. But EVERY time we do, we get NO service. Multiple times we have had to go up to the bartender or to the waiter and ask if we could order yet. We don't get our drinks sometimes which really bothers me but at the same time both me and my boyfriend are very "meh whatever" type of people and try not to let things bother us but we also are too shame to speak up. I just left there tonight. I waited half an hour just to get my super dry and hard pasta and burnt ahi. My boyfriends food had come earlier than mines, but still longer than usual. We understand that it's busy but they literally actually forgot about my food. when we first got there once again, we waited a good twenty minutes before finally getting a waiter. read more

Cool little spot to eat your lunch. The drinks are expensive/overpriced. Service is slow. Never tried happy hour, but it's not advertised in the bar and I don't know when it is. read more

Slow service during their weekend brunch, at prime time for that meal (10:45 am-12:30ish Sunday). Half hour after our order: no drinks, no app, no brunch items. Another half-hour: Our drinks appeared on the bar, but the server was talking to another party at their table for at least 15 minutes. We stood up, then bussed the drinks ourselves (not fancy, just the standard non-alcoholic drinks) to our table. Then in another 10 minutes, since he was still talking to that party, and other parties who had arrived AFTER we got there were eating their food, we asked him about our order. He seemed to have forgotten it, so at that point, he started to enter it into the register. Then another 20 minutes passed, with no refilling of our glasses. We asked if we could cancel our order, but he said no, it's coming out soon. Another 15 minutes pass. We ask another server for a refill, since by now, we have been waiting too long for a basic set of brunch menu items. The other waiters are not noticing what is going on, even with the small number of paying customers in the restaurant/bar. Finally we canceled and rung out. In that period, I was thankful my family members had brought along vegan donuts which they had purchased on the store side of Whole Foods with them, and that, instead of the brunch items and app that I had ordered, became my meal. During what should be prime-time for the brunch, there were only a handful of paying customers in the large bar and restaurant area. It was pitiably, noticeably empty. Why is it so unpatronized by local customers, when the store and restaurant obviously had made weekend brunch into a thing? Clearly nobody is coming in for the brunch, and this means the kitchen is probably understaffed, but nobody had bothered to train the wait staff to make up for this lag by refilling the glasses, apologizing for the long wait, etc. In the end, we had to even pay for our drinks, as standard as they were, AFTER waiting so long without our food and leaving because of that--WTF? Spending so much time there and observing the workplace dynamics (which is my area of specialization), it's clear that nobody cares at the management level and thus everyone has given up at the worker level. My family whom I encouraged to come here to spend time with me, and who have worked in food service (one as a chef at the Kahala Resort hotel and the very first culinology--culinary science--student at UHM), were both angry and cracking where's-Gordon-Ramsey-when-you-need-him-to-fix-a-restaurant jokes. What a waste of a morning. It's sad, because someone took the trouble to create the interesting menu which nobody is selling and nobody is eating. And nobody is coming back. read more

Great place to dine and drink before grocery shopping. BBQ pork sandwich was excellent, fries are good, spicy salmon hand roll and poke bowl were also great. Their tap beer selection had delirium which is very hard to find Belgium beer and only for $12. Excellent service too! read more

Worst service...if you're sitting at the bar with 5 or 6 other people....you're screwed. Dont water your time. You're better off buying a bottle at the store and serving yourself on the lanai. read more

When we were served our sushi roll the girl asked "do you want shoyu" seemed she forgot to bring it and was hoping not to have to walk the extra steps to remedy the situation. When we said yes ( thinking.... of course we want shoyu with our sushi why wouldnt we want shoyu with our sushi and why would you serve sushi without shoyu) she returned a minute later with 3 little packets of shoyu and a metal souffle cup like the kind you get your ketchup served in. Okay so first if your going to serve sushi from your menu you darn sure better have the appropriate dishes and a bottle or two of shoyu sitting around to be delivered with the sushi... have you ever tried to dip your 1.5 " diameter sushi roll into a 1" diameter souffle cup ???? Not to mention the sushi roll was served incomplete described as a "crunchy" roll served minus the crunchy bits the remedy provided by the bar tender was um incomplete... Also served a $12 Maitai with no dark rum in a short glass. Over all seemed like the few employees we came in contact with were just not up to the task, wrong attitude and perhaps working in the wrong line of business. Over all kind of a lame experience considering most or all of the folks you come in contact in the whole foods market they are attached to are very friendly, engaged in their work and provide complete customer service. Probably safe to say we wont make that pit stop before shopping again. read more

Ordered buffalo wings. It was burned and shrunk. I let the waitress know and she said its pre cook

Ok. First things first the store is beautiful! The bar is nice. That's what the two stars are for. The lack of the other two are for the service and the misconception of cauliflower nachos. We bought sandwiches from the store and came in for drinks and the cauliflower nachos. We sat and sat finally someone brought us these crinkled paper menus. Many minutes later they came back and asked us for our order. We ordered the cauliflower nacho and two drinks. I am Keto. So anything resembling Keto gets me excited. I asked for the toppings on the side. They brought the plate out and it was fried cauliflower with three ramekins with salsa, puréed guacamole and jalapeños. The cauliflower was naked. I don't know what your definition of Nachos are but alll of my scenarios involve the One thing it did not have. CHEESE!!! There was No cheese on the Nachos! Just saying! When we brought it up the bartender, who was semi rude, told us it was a healthier option. Ha! ITS FRIED!!! So I will warn you they are Notchos! Lol Anyway, it was ok the taste was actually good. I brought most of it home so I can make Real Nachos. I can do without this bar, it's prettier but not the same customer service as Kahala. Stick to the groceries. read more

I always think highly of Whole Foods Market, but this past weekend I was very surprised (or more disappointed) by one of the restaurant employees. She greeted our party and told us we either had to order something or we had to leave the restaurant area. There wasn't any distinct signs saying we needed to order anything but understood it was a bar. Therefore three out of the four of us (from our party) ordered off the menu and looked at our other friend with discuss why they didn't order anything. The same lady brought our drinks out but forgot one person's order. We waited patiently as there was other people to be served but in the mean time as people came and went she didn't tell other parties that were near us to order something from the menu or they needed to leave (I personally observed at least three other parties who bought food from the market side and came into eat and she walked right pass them). I then saw her walk out and she never completed our order!! This place was not very organized and needs to hire more people with the "aloha" spirit (better customer service). But we waved down another employee who was happy to help us. Thank you Jason! read more

We went to the two tides bar upstairs to listen to some live music,sat at the bar and was greeted by a bartendress ,she was great got my beers really fast but when she went to go on break thats when the service turned bad, Ryan took over our half of the bar, don't know if its a racial thing( i'm asian ) but he walked by several times glanced at my empty beer and didn't even ask if I wanted another one. so a haole couple comes up to the bar and he gives them great service, he takes care of them walks by my empty glass and side eyes it and keeps on walking. so another haole couple walks up to the bar and he gives them great service, by now i'm pissed . so he walks by I raise my hand to get his attention and doesn't acknowledge me so my wife calls out to him so we could get served ,this guy SUCKS !!! The music was great read more
